SANTA FEE, n. NJ, Oct. 22.-Within the past
ten days upwards of five thousand people have
passed down the main line of the Santa Fe road
en- route California. Last night the west
bound train was run in three sections, and about
1,500 people were board. Triple headers
will be run during the remainder of this month.
Passengers say that many are compelled to wait
several days at Kansas City before they can
secure accommodations on Santa Fe
trains. The recent circular letter of the
Southern Pacific Company to the various trans
continental lines advocating that the California
terminal lines buy up the return portion of
those tickets to California. which are now SELL
ing at $50 with six-month's limit, for $40 each.
in order to keep them out of the scaluers'
hands, has precipitated great war on trans
contin entail rates. The move a direct stab
at the Santa Fe company, and from
passengers who came in from Kansas City
last night it learned that the
war is on in earnest The Santa Fe and Union
Pacific both crowdins the fight. At first
they made the west-bound rate from the Mis-
souri, river $40, but within three days past this
has been to $50. and many OF those who
went through last night travelling at this
rate. It is thought the Southern Pacific will
now carry out its threat to haul California pas

A Word for the Bagcageman.

Upon no class Of men in the railroad service
10 more abuse heaped than the baggage
handler. No one stops to think that breath
less span of time is allotted him to hand down
his pile of trunks. and that the work must be
accomplished to the minute. while all around
him is excitement and hurry, trains arriving and
departing by the half dozens at the same
minute. 1t is quite essential at a station like
the Union Depot that the bageanemen be ex-
perts in the matter Of handling trunks. A
ereenhorn can at once be detected. He tackles
q trunk with bungline awkwardness be rolls it
with putting labor, falls over it and tilts and
drops it a score of times. To watch expert
unloading q train you will observe how his
hand rests upon one corner, and the other upon
the side. He lands the trunk upon the floor,
never upon any corner, always on the full end.
The corner is the wrecking point, even Of an
iror clad. He most dexterously hurres it to
one side with the ce a toy, and hurls an
other after it w it'll the grace and pose of ball
player. He always prefers a large trunk to a
small one--it is better to handle. The wreckng
10 never done by an expert VINO handles hundreds
of trunks at the great confuences Of railroads.
1t is done by the small fries of the least work.
and particularly by the inexperienced hands Of
road expresses.

Pops, nor are there many governments
that could not be overthrown if the Pope
were to exercise his power to that end. In
significant as the medal episode may ap-
pear at first sight, it will certainly have
very great effect upon the movement on
foot, and in many respects we'll advanced,
having for its object the restoration Of the
temporal power of the pontiff, and the in
dignation which the incident has excited
will do much to develop the present agi-
tation into a clamor for what are regarded
az the rights of the church and its head,
Ii is to be hoped, for the sake OF preserving
the dignity that should attach to tbe gov
eminent of q great country that the Italian
ministry will promptly disclaim any re-
sponSibility for the petty seizure, and every
right-minded person will be glad TO learn
that the police of Rome acted through over
zeal and a mistaken idea of their duties,
rather than in pursuance OF official instruc-
tions from superiOrs holding positions near
the throne of Italy.
